Amid the increasing anticipation that Kevin Youkilis may be headed to the disabled list and replaced on the Red Sox' roster by top prospect Will Middlebrooks, Patriots backup quarterback Ryan Mallett has chimed in on Twitter.

Mallett and Middlebrooks grew up together in Hooks, Texas, and have remained friends since grade school.

If Middlebrooks is added to the Red Sox' roster, he could make his major league debut tonight against the Oakland Athletics.
